Description
The Journal for the Renewal of Religion and Theology ( JRRT ) is published several times annually depending upon the volume of submissions. JRRT is published online as an 'Open Acess' journal and may be freely accessed by readers and contributors free of charge. Papers may be submitted and published without charge. All papers, articles and essays submitted must be in line with the academic guidelines set out in 'submissions'. Papers will be subject to peer-review before publication. Pertinent articles, essays and reviews are also welcome.
Focus & Scope
Material is published that explores the widest field of religion and theology - especially aspects that might not normally receive focus. JRRT deals with mainstream Western religions and spirituality, along with Eastern and Middle Eastern religious streams. There is also the possibilities for submissions dealing with indigenous religious culture along with new areas of religious development, and other religious and theological expressions that might not normally be addressed in mainstream studies.
JRRT encourages diversity along with rigorous thinking and research aimed at both established and emerging phenomena in the religious and theological fields. The diverse membership of the editorial board endeavours to be an expression of the focus and scope of JRRT.
Archived Journals are accessible through the international research database services of >>EBSCO - thus all material published in JRRT has the potential of a large exposure within the world-wide research community.
